A Gaming Life
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these posts, mainly because I ran out some of the samples, so much so that I needed a tray infusion. No, not that kind of infusion. This is another Cube4Me storage tray set that I… Continue Reading “Thunder Alley – Storage Solution With Rails on Boards”
We’re back to Canadian Club after some Crown Royal over the last week or two. That’s not bad, of course. It’s a mainstay! But maybe that’s why I’m thinking about asymmetry in boardgames for this Friday Night Shot. Or maybe not. Actually, the reason… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Asymmetry in Games”
After a robust March of gaming, April took a bit of a downturn. The lack of a convention along with missing a Sunday game day and being off for a week so there were no lunch time games that week, all of that combined… Continue Reading “April 2023 Gaming”
We’ve come a long way in this hobby (especially wargames, since that’s what I used to play in my youth) since the days where there were very few games coming out each year so everybody who was interested in gaming actually was playing those… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – How Do You Learn a Game?”
It’s weird, but I feel funny not having posted about a GMT game in almost 6 days. But here I go again! It’s time for another adventure from the Combat Commander ladder. The ladder is a monthly tournament run by the supreme Patrick Pence,… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario LoM #8 – Codes in the Sunrise”

Interesting that it’s already on BGG and a blogger is talking about it, though (not me, the blogger that GMT RT’d) Lots of GMT… Continue Reading “Twilight Struggle: South Asian Monsoon Coming From GMT in 2024”
Even though I haven’t been able to get it to the table for quite a long time, GMT’s Time of Crisis (designed by Brad Johnson and Wray Ferrell) is still one of my favourite games. I was just browsing Boardgame Geek this morning when… Continue Reading “Time of Crisis from GMT Getting a Deluxe Edition & Mini-Expansion”
(Edit: 4/15/23) – I completely forgot one of my big annoyances regarding storage solutions: never being sure if the game’s going to get an expansion that makes the solution obsolete! Right now, my Dune Imperium box has a hodgepodge of baggies and stuff in… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – My Take on Game Storage Solutions”
After being early last month (it was almost like time travel!), this month’s game from the Combat Commander ladder came in just in the nick of time. We played our game on Monday, March 27, mainly due to life stuff happening. Combined with the… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario #91 – The Battle of Trafalgar”
